Chapter 278 — The Arrow-Brand Guy Is Mighty Fierce
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
But when Qiu Lingshan saw the sandcastle on the beach, the words reached her lips and slid back down her throat. Playing so happily—surely no comforting was needed... Yet Shen Yushu's next words left Qiu Lingshan rather speechless.
"Sister Lingshan, you got here so fast! My castle isn't even finished yet..." Shen Yushu gazed at her handiwork with reluctance, dragging her feet as she came over.
Qiu Lingshan wanted to curse, but held it in. Watching Shen Yushu's little eyes darting about, she knew the girl was doing it on purpose. This little minx had never liked her, ever since Qiu Lingshan turned down her brother's pursuit—was that any reason?
Did not liking someone mean she had no right to refuse? Qiu Lingshan's head ached. A young girl's mind was impossible to fathom. When she looked for a boyfriend, did she have to pick this girl's brother and no one else?
Besides, it was a fact that he could not beat her. Why on earth should she choose a man weaker than herself? If trouble came later, would she be protecting him, or he protecting her?
"Give me your phone." Qiu Lingshan was still fuming when she heard Wei Zhao ask for her phone.
"Huh? What for?" Qiu Lingshan blinked, but still handed it over. Earlier she had called Wei Zhao's phone and found it switched off, so she assumed it had run out of battery—naturally, she thought he wanted to borrow hers to make a call.
But after taking the phone, Wei Zhao did not call anyone. He brought up the camera and started shooting the sandcastle Shen Yushu had built—left, right, every angle, not one omitted.
"Wow, Arrow-Brand Guy, you're so good! Now I can keep it as a souvenir!" Shen Yushu was thrilled and ran to stand beside her castle. "Arrow-Brand Guy, take a picture of us together!"
"You—what are you taking pictures of that for?" Qiu Lingshan had not expected Wei Zhao to use her phone for this, and her temper flared at once. "Wei Zhao, do you have nothing better to do?"
"When you get back, send me the photos by MMS, or just send them to my phone's mailbox." Wei Zhao did not answer her question and handed the phone back.
"No time." Qiu Lingshan was about to explode. Using her phone to photograph Shen Yushu was bad enough, but a whole pile of sandcastle shots? If she actually cooperated and sent them over, what would that make her? Qiu Lingshan had always cut a forceful figure in the compound—before anyone, she was like a proud princess. She and Shen Yushu had long been at odds over Chen Yuxuan. How could Qiu Lingshan possibly send her the photos? If she did, where would her dignity be?
"No time, is it? Fine. Next time you come looking for me, you'd better consider whether I have time." Wei Zhao shrugged indifferently and made to turn away.
Qiu Lingshan clenched her silver teeth, stamped hard on the sand, and squeezed out two words through them: "I'll send them."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled. He knew this tigress would give in.
Shen Yushu, however, stared wide-eyed at Wei Zhao and Qiu Lingshan in disbelief. Earlier, asking Wei Zhao to photograph her with the sandcastle had been only to needle Qiu Lingshan. In her view, with Qiu Lingshan's temper, she would never send the photos—even if Shen Yushu pressed her about it later, Qiu Lingshan, too proud to admit otherwise, would only say she had deleted them by accident.
So when Wei Zhao told Qiu Lingshan to send the photos and she said "No time," that was exactly what Shen Yushu expected, and she found nothing odd about it. Wei Zhao being able to take her phone and photograph Shen Yushu with the sandcastle was already impressive enough—it had given Shen Yushu plenty of face. After all, which of the men around Qiu Lingshan would dare use her phone for something so silly?
